This ring binds
Golden latchkey
The petals strewn
Across this bed
Have wilted over time
This ring binds

This ring clasps
Withered fingers
Age has leached
All sense of reason
Habit now is king
This ring clasps

This ring endures
Metal purified
Withstands the cracks
Where all the love
Is lost, denied
This ring endures
